SECONDARY GLAZING SELECTAGLAZE LTD Alban Park, Hatfield Road, St Albans, Hertfordshire AL4 0JJ Tel 01727 837271 Fax 01727 844053 Email enquiries@ selectaglaze.co.uk www.selectaglaze.co.uk Churches tend to have large inefficient single glazed leaded windows, with intricate stained glass and curved designs. Their thermal performance is generally poor, and they do little to stop noise ingress and egress. Secondary glazing is a reversible adaptation which is recommended by heritage bodies and offers significantly improved energy efficiency, noise insulation, draught proofing and with strengthened glass and locks, a comforting level of security. Selectaglaze provides assistance with designs and finishes that are sympathetic to the architectural character of the building and existing décor. Established in 1966 and Royal Warrant Holder since 2004, Selectaglaze is one of the UK’s leading specialist designers of secondary glazing systems.
